We’re inviting you to join us for 40 Days of Prayer from 24th Feb – 4th April 2021.

It truly has been a time of great challenge for many, and opportunity for others. Some have thrived in the new rhythms and routines, and others have found them draining and isolating. As we journey towards post-lockdown life as a church – and indeed wider society – we want to intentionally focus our […]
